Plot Summary of Vixens
"Three granddaughters of Jasmine, thus, great great granddaughters of Skye O'Malley, arrive at the court of King Charles II looking for love and marriage. Frances "Fancy" Devers has left America hoping to escape the gossip surrounding her first brief marriage. King Charles II convinces Fancy to be his new mistress. She becomes one of his favorite mistresses, but after several months, the pregnant Fancy wishes to retire. Charles insists that she marry handsome Christopher "Kit" Trahern. Despite her strenuous objections, she marries and discovers Kit has quietly loved her.

Meanwhile, Lady Diana Leslie is nicknamed "Siren" by the gentlemen of the court. Her exquisite beauty, generous nature, and charming manners attract many suitors. But when Diana's heart is engaged by identical twin brothers, she finds herself torn. Choosing is impossible.

Cynara is the not-so-royal Stuart's youngest daughter. She decides she wants to marry dark and dangerous Harry "Wickedness" Summers. But Harry has vowed never to marry. Cyn starts playing a game of seduction with Harry, who is very willing to play and proves to be more skilled than Cyn could have anticipated. They recklessly become lovers, but Cyn's family insists she must marry."

L. Watson, Resident Scholar
